The air is crisp, the leaves are changing, and pumpkin spice is everywhere. It’s time for a fresh start with a new fall haircut. This is an easy way to change up your look and is a great opportunity to chop off your dead ends and reverse the summer damage that has caused your hair.
To inspire you this season, we asked hairstylists to share their favorite fall hairstyles with all length and texture options. Trust me, these are cuts you’ll definitely fall for (sorry).
clavi cut
The latest red carpet hair trend, this blunt style is characterized by its length, which falls around the collarbone (collarbone), giving the impression of shoulder-length hair. “Longer than a bob, this cut can be styled in a slicked back ponytail, a bun, or a long bob,” says celebrity stylist Laura Porco. “Depending on your hairstyle choice, this cut allows you to customize it to your liking, whether it’s edgy and wavy or sleek and sleek.”
vixie cut
Popular in the ’90s, the vixie (a blend of bowl and pixie cuts) is making a confident comeback. This cut combines the length and structure of a bowl cut with the texture of a pixie, allowing for a variety of styling options. Depending on the products and techniques used, it can be worn smooth and smooth, textured to flip the edges, or even voluminous.
old money bob
One of the trendiest short hairstyles you can find right now is the “old money” bob, which channels 90s nostalgia and quiet luxury. “This classic style is given a modern twist with blunt ends and subtle layers that frame your face, giving you a healthy, shiny mane,” says Voloom Brand Ambassador Celebrity Hair says stylist Julius Michael.
birkin bangs
These wispy, brow-grazing bangs are a throwback to 1970s actress Jane Birkin’s style, but stars like Jenna Ortega are rocking it with new interpretations. Birkin bangs are versatile enough to accommodate different hair textures and lengths as well as different face shapes.
italian bob
The French don’t have a monopoly on the bob. And this fresh take on the classic bob has a 1960s vibe. It often has a little flip at the end. (Just like actress Simona Tabasco in The White Lotus!) This highly wearable bob features textured ends and layering, and is meant to be a little messy.
textured lob
If you love shaggy styles like a wolf cut or mullet, but don’t want to lose length, a textured lob could be your style for fall. It can give you the richness and texture of other trendy styles without making drastic changes.
shale hair
Cher Horowitz from the 1990s classic Clueless has been a source of hair inspiration for generations, and according to celebrity hairstylist Kiya Wright, it’s been nearly 30 years since the movie premiered. Even now, that gorgeous blonde blowout is totally in fashion.
After applying a volumizer and blow-drying your hair, barrel curls are the secret to giving it extra oomph.
beaver chignon
Chignon, anyone? “Sophisticated hairstyles are on trend, and this minimal bun hairstyle inspired by Hailey Bieber fits the bill perfectly,” says stylist Raven Hurtado of Maxine Salon in Chicago. say. “To achieve this style, tie your hair into a low ponytail, wrap it around and secure with pins. Spray with hairspray to reduce flyaways.”
90’s explosion
One of the defining hairstyles of the supermodel era, the bombshell blowout is back in a big way, but with the right tools and aftercare. Direction is important in terms of technology.
To maximize hair volume around your face, keep your hair away from your face. Directing the hair on the top of your head upwards and towards your face gives you the best-looking shape when your hair falls back. Heat can also be damaging, so apply a hair oil or leave-in conditioner after styling to infuse your hair with the moisture it needs.
draping layer
Draped layers are a face-framing style inspired by the ’90s, early 2000s, and 2000s. “Layers are cut around the face at varying levels of length to accentuate facial features and give it pop,” says Hurtado.
baby braids
Equal parts statement and subtle, one of the biggest ’90s beauty trends making a comeback this season is tiny braids. “Braids were very popular this summer, giving the look of soft, tousled beach waves, but adding baby braids for fall is a great way to take a simple hairstyle to the next level. “I think so,” says UNITE hairstylist Haley Heckman.
Our favorite rendition is adding a single micropleat on each side of the center part to add a cool little detail to your straight strands.
modern mullet
We all know the classic mullet: business in the front, party in the back. But Drew Schaferling, master stylist at Rob Petoum Salon in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, says, “These haircuts come in all sorts of shapes, lengths, with or without bangs. I don’t think they’ll quit yet.”
You can go extreme like Miley Cyrus with a short fringe, or you can keep the layers short around your face and go for a longer version with more modern “mermaid layers.” Either way, it’s the perfect look for a wash-and-wear approach, with minimal maintenance and free-falling layers.
feather fringe
Porco says the evolution of curtain bangs is the ’70s-inspired feathered fringe, which is also a great style for people who have grown out their bangs. “I love this look because it’s both retro and modern and tends to accentuate most face shapes,” she says.
To achieve the look, use a texturizing spray to infuse the hair with grease to hold it and maintain its shape. For a winged look, blow dry the hair around your face, aim a round brush along your hairline, and brush it out of your face for a ’70s swoop.
Natural texture and highlights
Incorporating natural textures is another big trend for fall. What’s the key to looking as good as possible? “Shape and color are really important when it comes to keeping your hair natural,” notes Giovanni Vaccaro, Artistic Director of Glam Squad.
As seen here, even something as simple as adding a soft fringe or warm highlights that complement your skin tone can make a big difference in your final result and enhance what your mother gave you. .
jaw clip
Inspired by the latest runways, ’90s hair accessories are all the rage. “Adding accessories is one of the easiest ways to change your look in just a few minutes, without changing your haircut or spending a lot of time using modern tools,” says Schaeferling. I love this trend.”
Porco added that Joe Clips is having a particularly big moment. “To style a jaw clip, pull your hair back into a low pony, leave a few bangs, then twist up and secure around your thumb for the perfect twist. Clip in place and add texture. Finish by sprinkling. Spray on unsecured front pieces for added texture and hold,” she says.
choppy pixie
If you’re ready for something more dramatic, choose a super crop cut. This bold pixie cut is perfect for those with straight, fine hair. When your hair is thick or curly, it takes a lot of effort to style it every day, notes hairstylist April Cason of Bob Steele Salon.
Piece-like layers add plenty of texture and interest. Autumn is the perfect time to embrace wispy bangs, as humidity and sweat can make styling them difficult.
curly shag
According to Vaccaro, this cut is one of the biggest hair trends this year, especially for fall. If you already have a naturally curly texture, you’re one step ahead and don’t need to worry about creating spirals. You’re also in luck, as the change in seasons can mean a noticeable drop in humidity, which can make your curls frizzy and dry.
Use the diffuser attachment on your hair dryer and gently massage your hair to keep it smoother. But never run your fingers through your curls, Vaccaro adds.
